Director Matthew Vaughn scraps a dream fight sequence after seeing the Nolan film

“I saw Inception , which I loved,” says Vaughn. “But my heart sank when I s🐠aw that a few of the ideas we had were up [on the screen]. So it’s either leave it in and look as if you’re copying or change things. We completely ripped out about 12 pages of the script a🌄nd the storyboards.”

According to the article, the sequence that has been dropped featured a dream-space combat involving Professor X (James McAvoy) and some other mutants that would have featured spinning rooms and other physics-bending imagery, which he felt was too similar to Inception .

He has also told that he is using JJ Abrams’s Star Trek as blueprint for how to reboot a franchise: “Obviously Abrams couldn’t make everyone happy with that one, but he did a pretty good job. He made a fantastically exciting reinvention of that world, with those great characters. And I think there will be comparisons a little bit with X-Men: First Class . It’s very similar, 🦹in a way. But we’re doing some cool stuff in this movie, some really cool stuff that you haven't see🥀n before.”

One similarity with the Trek movie is that it will play fast and loose with established continuity🌜.

“The story that Bryan Singer came up with is very, very smart🗹. It’s very clever when you see how he has integrated the characters into the time period where the film is set... It’s a v๊ery clever way of getting these characters involved in recent history, in recent world events.”
